In 1959, Cotta was entrusted with the design of almost 120 book-covers for the series 'Los Libros del Mirasol'. This series comprised authors from the four corners of the world such as Faulkner, Pirandello, Oscar Wilde, Anatole France and others. 'Los Libros del Mirasol' was extremely successful, not only in Argentina but in the whole of Latin America and Spain. This book explores Cotta's work, showcasing the covers he designed to reveal the visual universe he constructed between 1959 and 1962.
